DURATION: 1.5 years
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Walk through the treacherous forest and harrowing badlands of Dino Trek, a quarter-mile nature trail with kids’ play area and party pavilions. The park includes 26 animatronic dinosaur vignettes, 4 photo opps, a climbing wall, a dinosaur dig, a scavenger hunt, a pollinator garden, pavilions, and a concession stand to keep guests excited and engaged.
In collaboration with Sun Outdoor, Atwell, GLA Architects, and Campfire Fabrication, the park is still in the permitting process, and construction is slated for early next year. The goal is to engage and enlighten guests about the history and discovery of dinosaurs. In addition, this prototype park will showcase the design and fabrication capabilities of Campfire Fabrication and Donaldson Design as a starting point for further collaborations with Sun Outdoors and its other properties.
